SFO Car Rental- Better to bid last minute or earlier?

[hsedin]

hello,

First time trying to get car rental on Priceline.

Looking to rent a car at SFO from Sept 15 to 19 for 4 days. Having read the forums and was just wondering if bidding last minute (1-2 days before) vs earlier (like now)- which method would be higher chance to get a lower price?

(I don't mind taking the risk of booking a bit later, if it's going to yield a better price coz we're booking for 4 days total. I can't imagine car rental from a large center like SFO would be easily sold out during a "low season" weekday stretch after the summer holidays - there are so many companies there.)

Thanks

Pleaese follow-up your previous Priceline Bellveue thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay... then bump this thread and we'll comment on your question(s) above.

See the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ. It was written with hotels in mind, but same applies to car rentals. However, you only get one bid every 72 hours with car rentals, and this stay is just 6 days away, i'd begin bidding now.
